Sherri Shepherd files divorce papers

Actress and TV personality Sherri Shepherd has reportedly moved forward with divorce proceedings, just days after her estranged husband filed for legal separation.

On May 2, Lamar Sally, “The View” co-host’s husband of three years, filed documents seeking full legal and physical custody of the unborn baby the couple is expecting through a surrogate mother in July, according to TMZ.com.

Now Shepherd has fired back and filed for divorce in New Jersey, citing irreconcilable differences. She reportedly does not mention their expected baby in the papers.

Shepherd and Sally wed in Chicago in 2011. This is her second marriage – she was previously married to Jeff Tarpley, with whom she has a nine-year-old son, Jeffrey.
